Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Repost: Science Proves That The Best Donuts Are Actually Non-DonutsCame across this while searching for something else. Feels like a good time for something light and delicious. When people say "I'd like a donut," #Science indicates that Actually, they don't want a donut at all. They say donut, but they really mean a pastry from the paradonut family.Exhibit A: The Coffee Roll Phasers on Star Trek have three settings: Stun, Kill, and Coffee Roll. Bonus: Worst Donuts. 1. Jelly Donuts. Jelly donuts are always what's left after people eat the real donuts. Jelly donuts are consolation prizes for losers who came late. They taste like failure for a reason. If you're eating a jelly donut, that's because you're not a competitor and you don't have any friends to set aside a good donut for you. 2. Plain Donuts. Plain donuts are also called "not donuts" or "ring-shaped bread." Plain donuts were invented for parents who don't love their children. They are also sometimes put out as bait for poisoning rats, though they have a 75% failure rate. Rats don't like them either. Sometimes a poisoned plain donut will be found intact, with a dead rat next to it -- rats will lick the poison off the plain donut while avoiding the plain donut itself. According to Leviticus, you are supposed to pay the dowry of an ugly woman in plain donuts. 3. Powdered Sugar Donuts. Powdered sugar donuts are made primarily by mental degenerates employed by donut shops as charity hires. They are sometimes called "Retard Donuts." To compare powdered sugar donuts to the Holocaust would be to trivialize the horror of powdered sugar donuts. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Those huge German creampuffs I used to get in Cincinnati were to die for. Plain cake donuts are very car friendly.

If you lightly broil plain donuts they turn into something eye-rollingly indulgent. They get kind of crispy and oily on the outside and soft and velvety on the inside. Dipped in milk it's like donut porn. Posted by: Max Power at June 06, 2017 03:44 PM (q177U) You mean Krispy Kreme donuts?

We have a small shop down the street from me with a bakery that makes all of those. I used to go down there around4 am when they were setting them out fresh and get a sack full. I would eat those things like candy. Had to quit that when I started with my GAINZ getting up near 200 lbs.

Everybody loves donuts. My old town had a ban on neon signs and fast food joints being the quaint New England seaside down it is. They also had the president of Dunkin Donuts living in the town. Clearly, something had to give.
So they compromised. They allowed him to install a DD without a neon sign, just a plain wooden one, and it became the most popular spot in town for coffee and empty calories. Proving that even yankees can be flexible when sugar is on the line. Posted by: JackStraw at June 06, 2017 03:46 PM (/tuJf) 138

Ace is right. You usually are craving something else, but that something else doesn't come in a nice neat box a dozen at a clip--easily obtainable as you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Dunkin' Donuts. You never want them, but you'll eat them because nothing else is available. And they never satisfy--your'e hungry 5 minutes later.
And you hate yourself for eating them. Posted by: JoeF. at June 06, 2017 03:47 PM (7uYFy) 157

Scones don't count as pastry. Amirite?
I'm not saying they should be illegal, mind you, but they don't have IT. Muffins are a mixed breed. Most of them don't have IT.

What about those famous melt-in-your-mouth Krispy Kreme glazed donuts? Surely they deserve some sort of technical achievement award at least. Y'know there were some famous folks in NYC (Lauren Bacall was one of them) who would frequently send out the hired help to get a bag of 'em for her, and made sure the run was timed right when the donuts popped out of the oven.

Allow me to revise and extend what Dr. Spank said. A Shipley's plain glazed donut right out of the glazer is like eating sweetened air. It is a delight to the palate and an enhancement to the waistline. It is what all other fried pastries wishes they would become after they've shuffled off their mortal coil and joined the choir invisible. Truly the angel of donuts.
It is truly an experience that must be enjoyed 12 times over. And now, if you will excuse me, I will be back. I need to, um, take care of some business. Posted by: Jonathan G at June 06, 2017 04:01 PM (bnlRS) 295

guy I worked with nearly got written up for sexual harrassment over doughnuts. for some reason he thought it would be funny to exclaim loudly, "debbie would you please stop sucking the cream out of the bear claws!" No idea why he said it, he had no idea what he meant other than it struck him as funny. Debbie thought it meant something very specific. fortunately cooler heads prevailed and an apology sufficed.

Plain donuts are excellent with coffee and make you feel like you indulged w/o too much guilt. I'm grateful for the hated plain donuts, as there are usually plenty for me to choose from at any occasion. Posted by: K-E at June 06, 2017 04:15 PM (uOEHQ) 398

Posted by: Insomniac, forgotten but not yet gone at June 06, 2017 04:13 PM (0mRoj) It's vile.

The worst, the absolute worst, is when you get a nice, hot apple fritter.
Take it home. Sit down, bite into it. Fantastic! Next bite. Fantastic! Third bite: doughy. They didn't cook it all the way. I've gagged and almost thrown up over several apple fritters that way. Horrific. But I soldiered on, because as a kid when I looked up through the small crevices while running from the rabid coyotes chasing me endlessly through the foul miasma of a mud bog inside the caves full of luminescent moss, I once thought the cloud of vultures awaiting my demise looked tasty.

you can tell a lot about a person by the doughnuts they bring when it is their turn for doughnut Friday. someone who brings in a couple of boxes of entenmanns instead of something from a bakery is a jerk. Posted by: yankeefifth at June 06, 2017 04:31 PM (cPsPa) In Honolulu, if the box isnt from Leonard's, and it isnt still warm, i will think youre a jerk. True fact. Out here i would travel half an hour to get donuts from Blue Ribbon, or just have none at all.

The kid that cleans the taps at several of the local watering holes is a dead-ringer for Bubba. Big kid, does a good job, soft-spoken, happy to be alive it seems. You don't want him planning your trajectory to the ISS, I'd say, but he always behaves the same and adds value at every encounter. I guess that he doesn't care too much that he is oppressed, and besides, everyone says hello to him when he comes in with his buckets and his brushes and I hope that he lives a long time.

You know what's kind of a gross cake? Pineapple upside down cake. And I normally like pineapples. But they're glazy and weird on the cake and the cake itself is boring. Posted by: Donna and V. (sans ampersanda at the present time) at June 06, 2017 04:45 PM (ZM2xo) either your tatstes are vastly different than mine, or you never had one like my Gramma used to make. I am notoriously picky, and i did love it so. The cake was not boring . the Pineapple should be carmelized. Posted by: Gushka can has scary kittys what want hugs at June 06, 2017 04:47 PM (YhV5r) 610

I buy Sprouts coffee, whole beans, and mix a bag 50/50 with their Italian roast and the espresso roast.
We don't do grinding, so I grind it using Sprouts's machine, couple notches above full coarse. Using a small cheap Black & Decker coffee maker with 32 ounce capacity, we do 1-1/2 scoops for 16 ounces water. Perfect! Sprouts prices the beans at $10 per pound, and every other week or so I find it at $7. It's hit or miss, so I just figure I am cost-averaging at $8.50. I used to get Starbucks's Italian roast, but it's priced at $13.33 full price and discounted on a timing pattern about like Sprouts to $9.31, so my cost-averaged number is $11.32. And I should mention that I find doing biz with Starbucks about as distasteful as with Google. Posted by: Les Kinetic at June 06, 2017 04:55 PM (U6f54) 678

Any where else? Meh. Posted by: Joe Mack at June 06, 2017 09:48 PM (iynDC) 784
Beignets from Cafe Du Monde are the only powdered donuts I will consume. Downed with some Cafe Au Lait...mmmm...mmm...
Also the Chick Fil-A chicken biscuit is the master of all breakfast sandwiches. Posted by: Grizzledcoastie at June 06, 2017 11:31 PM (FMgad) 785
Sorry I missed the doughnut thread. Not too many I don't like, except Tim Horton's and fancy hipster flavors that sell for upwards of $3. I like Entenmann's rich chocolate ones and miss DD's old powdered sugar jelly doughnuts. Krispy Kreme I can enjoy one bite, then it's too sweet.
Ferrara's still in Chicago on Taylor. D'Amato's also excellent for Italian desserts and canolli (no doughnuts, though.) Posted by: venus velvet at June 07, 2017 12:01 AM (g94P/) 786
Obviously, I will have to stop for doughnuts on my way to work tomorrow. Power of suggestion.
Ace, are you on my dentist's payroll? On topic, I don't care for filled pastries (or froster cupcakes). They make a mess of the mustache. Posted by: Weak Geek at June 07, 2017 12:40 AM (+ENun) 787
*frosted* cupcakes, you stupid phone.

87 These have powered sugar on them but they aren't donuts. They are excellent with coffee au lait.

The hubster and I were in the bright, sunny Everglades. There was no one around but us, beautiful nature and water, and one left-over chocolate-covered Dunkin Donuts donut. I recalled that last trip to New Orleans. Our air boat swamp tour operator (a for-real Cajun guy) told us that the one thing alligators love more than anything in the whole wide world is "candy." By which he meant sweet treats. Hub and I looked at each other, the donut, and the sparkling water. No gators or people in sight. I thought, OK, I'll test that statement. I chucked the donut about four feet from where we stood on the shore. Within one minute, a large, scaly alligator's head and tail broke the surface of the water. He eyed us, then the donut. He was a big, big alligator. He started making straight for - us or the donut? We stood, rooted with instant fear that had mixed up faster than a Nescafe. The gator made no noise at all, his giant tail waving evenly back and forth in a horizontal cobra dance. All we knew - he was coming at us and fast. We looked at each other. It was one of those "OH, SH*T!" moments in your life where you are absolutely certain that you have just done something very, very stupid. Then, the gator very gracefully glided to a stop with only the donut between him and us. His jaws opened wide and - he went right for the donut. We watched in fascination as he chomped the donut to pieces, even going after the little bits. Then, another gator head popped up behind him. We decided to bail, and quickly. We swore to never feed gators again. We named the gators Hannibal and Clarice. Because you know, what every reptile wants is just something - sweet.
